About year ago the Tombstone Stockgrowers' Association took steps towards having book printed contain ing all the brands of members. The matter was held in abeyance until the meeting on Wednesday last, when by resolution unanimously adopted the en- tire matter and data were turned over to the publishers of the EPITAPH, who expect to issue in about thirty days a complete brand-book for this county and the territory adjoining. It will be mos, comprehensive and of incalculable benefit to the stockmen. Five hundred copies will be issued, and a limited number oi pages will be reserved for advertisers While practically endorsed by the Tomb. stone Stockgrowers, in scope it will no, be confined to any association, but will be general in its character, and to use a hackneyed expression, will supply long felt want.

Commissioner Sparks, of the general land office, has received from the survey or general of Arizona the report of his action on the application made to his office for preliminary survey of the old Peralta private land claim in this Terri tory, which embraces 4o,ooo,oo acres |. The surveyor general declines to enter tain the application, for the reason that congress had withheld from his office the usual appropriation for the investigation of private land claims, and as an investi' gation would be necessary in this case the application is denied. This claim was discussed at length by Commissionel Sparks in his annual report for 1885 and it is believed by the Commissions that he fully established its fraudulen character

The Engineering and Mining Journal,
 taking its text from the EPITAPH, has re. ceived report from the Tortlita mines which is anything but fattering. That well-known leading journal vouches for the reliability of it's expert, who says: There is not enough ore in sight to run 2o-stamp mill for week. The five stamp mill runs only day shift, and the mines are unable to keep even that sup piled, so when they get out of ore they work their tailings over again. It is un- necessary for me to say that the notices in the local papers of Superintendent Elmore bringing in bars of silver weigh = 2I5 pounds, etc, is all in the scheme. No such production has never been obtained from the mine." This report will be pub l,shed in full in the EPITAPH next week, and will prove mighty interesting reading matter for the Tombstone Prospector, Tucson Citizen and Star and Florence Enterprise, which have prostituted their columns in aid of this gigantic swindle,

SULPHUR SPRING VALLEY.

Will Be Made to Bloom and Prosper in the
 Future.
 This princely domain is situated m Southern Arizona, and forms large and valuable portion of both Cochise and Graham counties. The Reclamation company formed in this city for the pur- pose of introducing the sub-irrigation process throughout Arizona have deter minded to operate largely in that section. We are familiar with that valley, and it is our opinion that the introduction of this admirable process of irrigation will work social revolution in that section of country. The Sulphur Spring valley, from the Arivaipa canyon to the Soncra line, is upwards of one hundred mIle 5, with an average width of eighteen miles, with an abundance of water near the grass roots; in fact, in many places it comes bubbling to the surface. The town of Wilcox, one of the most progress i've and prosperous towns of Cochise, is situated in this valley, and should this system of sub-irrigation bs adopted, it would tend in no small degree to build up that ambitious little burg. It is need less for us to remark that large tracts of land, held by corporations for cattle ranges, or otherwise, is of little benefit to the community in which they are held. Any honorable'means whereby such lands can be cultivated and opened up to set. tiers should be fostered and assisted in it's operation. The time and the oppor- tunity, we think, has arrived, and by the adoption and operation of the methods above mentioned, of getting water upon this land, thousands of happy homes can be made on this now lonely prairie. The Gazette, whose ambition is to assist every natural and legitimate effort made in be l., ,lf of the advancement of Arizona, is desirous of witnessing the magical trans formation which this feasible method would surely bring about. The millions of idle acres on which roam at will thous. ands of fat cattle, could, by small outlay, be made to bloom and blossom. We are prepared for the howl of indignation from men who occupy vast tracts of land in maintaining large herds of cattle--but as matter of simple justice these men must surrender to the demands of public policy and "progress." The schoolhouse, with its gu ota of happy children, surroun

Such is fame. A cable dispatch dated Liverpool. September ao. says.

"
 The Tombstone coach, belonging to the "Mexican Joe" Combination, while parad- ing al a galloping pace through the street of this city to-day, capsized. The mem bers of the band were scattered upon the stone pavements in all directions, and four of them were so badly injured that they had to be taken to hospital. The band instruments were all smashed.
 Then Bill Nye, who has recently been interviewing the Duke of Marlborough for the New York World, says:
 1 found the duke seated on low otto. man, clad in loosely fitting costume of paja.nas. It was so loose and neglige that it was on the tip of my tongue to ask him if his mother made it for him out of of his fathers old pajamas, but suddenly remembered that was in Newport and not in Tombstone, Arizona, and I re. str lined myself.
 And thus it is our dismally named town catches it on both sides of the Atlantic.

The Prescott Courier suggests that armed men be employed by Yavapai county to board trains on the A. and P. road, and induce travellers to stop over there instead of going to California. This would be an original method of securing immigrants were it not that the arms suggested are pamphlets and news papers containing descriptions of the county. its resources and climate.

TIMBER LAND ENTRY.
(ISABELLA M. DWYER.)

"A mdrrleQ woman, WHO Dy t1e laws Ol tnc otdte is authorized to purchase and hold realty as feme sole, and independently control her sep arate property, is entitled to make land pur- chase under the act of June 3, 1878.
 Acting Secretary Muldrow to Commis- toner Sparks, July IS, 1887.
 Isabella M. Dwyer made timber land entry No 6335 August 7, 1884, ofthe NE X of Sec. IS, T. IA N., R. l E. Humboldt, California, after submitting proper proof according to law.
 On September 7, 1885, Special Agent B. F. Bergen reported that the claimant was not qualified to make the entry, she being married woman.
 Upon this report you held said entry for cancellation, and allowed the entry man sixty days in which to apply for a hearing.
 In accordance with said direction the en,ryman filed her application for hear ing, setting forth the fact that she is a married woman, and was such at the date of entry; that in June 1876, she was made a sole trader by decree of the court under the laws of California, that she has been and now is doing bus. mess as sole trader; tha, she now, and for a great many years last past, has sup ported herself and family by her own ex | eftlon; that she entered said land tor n, sole and separate use ana b,ne6', an. not for the use and benefit of any other person; that she purchased sald land wllh her separate money, and that her hus- band has no interest in IT claim upon the purchase money aforesaid.
 Upon the receipt of this protest, you by letter of Febuary IS, 1887, held tha hearing was not necessary, as the enfr, man admitted the facts upon which saio entry was held for cancellation, to vii that she was married woman at the date of said entry, and thereupon you agalr held said entry for cancellation, subjec to the right of appeal, which is now before me.
 As the laws of California permit !; married woman 10 purchase and holt realty as feme sole, and to control ant manage her separate property, free iron all and any interference from her husband am of opinion that the entryman in thi case is entitled to purchase under the ac of June 5, 1878. Nor does the fact tha the entryman has, since making saic entry disposed of the claim, afford sufd. cient proof of bad faith to warrant thu cancellation of the entry. She swear that she did not directly or indirectI, make any bargain or sale, or agreemen to sell and convey said land to any ont prior to making final proof, but that sh' entered said land for her own use anc benefit, and not for the benefit of an, other person.
 The special agent presents no fact in- dlcating fraud but recommends the can cellation of the entry solely on the ground that "the entryman was married woman, and not qualified to make entry
